Brendan Smyth (8 June 1927 – 22 August 1997) was a Roman Catholic priest who became notorious as a child molester using his position in the Roman Catholic Church to obtain access to his victims. During a period of over 40 years Smyth sexually abused and indecently assaulted over 100 children in parishes in Belfast Dublin and the United States. His actions were frequently hidden from police and the public by Roman Catholic officials.
